He didn’t get pampered at all and was willing to suffer to save some money.
To save money on the cast members’ wages…
He shamelessly persuaded Yan Zhiqing and Lu Man to join the crew.
There were too many stories of Han Zhuofeng working hard on filming.
!!
Therefore, Lu Man did not allow the entire footage to be released at once.
One part was released by a group of content creators, and the other part was released by another group of content creators.
Every promotion advertised something new.
It prevented the netizens from feeling annoyed by repeatedly seeing the same thing.
And as a result, the netizens were moved by Han Zhuofeng’s sincerity and effort, resulting in them showing another round of support by watching the movie again at the cinema.
CEO w.a.n.g and others could tell that there was not much hope for the movies ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City.’
However, it wasn’t over.
Until now, the box office sales were already pretty good.
The return on investment had already been achieved, and they even had a good profit.
However, they were scared to be compared with Dimensions.
They would be useless if they were compared to something better, right?
They were compared with the results of ‘Dimensions’.
At other times, the results of ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City’, which were considered to be good, would be nothing worth looking at.
Besides, the box office sales of ‘Dimensions’ did not seem to have the intention of dropping.
They became envious.
They could not keep on kowtowing, right?
Just as Han Zhuoli said, they did not need to make a deal.
As long as these two cinemas wanted to earn money, they did not need to make a deal; they had to take the initiative to increase the showtimes of ‘Dimensions’.
As expected, the two cinemas could not bear it anymore.
They took the initiative to give ‘Dimensions’ the most showtimes.
With his own first production, Han Zhuofeng had gotten his place in the industry.
This was invested by the Han Family members with their own names, including Han Zhuofeng.
So when the profits were shared later, every one of them would earn a huge sum.
Old Mrs. Han was overjoyed. “Zhuofeng helped me earn a good sum of money.”
Although the two elders did not lack any money, it was money their grandson made for them, after all.
As such, they were proud!
“This movie is successful domestically, and with the special effects and depth of ‘Dimensions’, even if you release it to Hollywood, it can stand its ground,” said Han Zhuoli.
“So, Big Brother and I decided to send this film overseas and play it in a few countries that are big-ticket warehouses. The cost of translation and marketing in the countries will be covered by the Han Corporation,” said Han Zhuoli.
Many countries weren’t used to looking at subt.i.tles, so they could not watch the movie with the original audio.
They would not be able to watch if the local audience were made to listen to the original audio while looking at the subt.i.tle translation.
As such, dubbing was necessary.
However, it would be expensive.
They also needed to release it in local cinemas, and they would also have to apply for the local movie rating.
Those things would be expensive.
Besides, the risk was that a lot of money had to be invested in the early stages.
When it was released locally, it might succeed due to cultural differences.
A movie that exploded domestically might not be popular overseas.
And movies with ordinary box office sales might be popular overseas.
This kind of situation was very common in Hollywood.
There were also many Hollywood movies that had box office sales that weren’t that good locally..
However, when they were released here, they were liked by the audience.
However, some movies that were popular overseas were just average when released in this country.
As such, there was a certain amount of risk when it came to releasing ‘Dimensions’ overseas.
There could be too many movies of the same kind in Hollywood, so the audience there might not even buy tickets.
Han Zhuofeng also had the same concern.
Even the two elders felt that if they released the film overseas, it wouldn’t earn much.
There was a high probability of making a loss.
Han Zhuoling said, “We have also considered this, and we’re prepared to make a loss. However, there’s a lot of profit this time, so even if we make a loss, we can use part of the profit, and in the end, we’ll still be in the green.”
“The main goal this time is not to earn a lot of money and profit but to let the world see our movie,” said Han Zhuoling.
“We want to let the world see that we can also shoot a movie with such advanced fantasy awareness. And it also had detailed reasoning and a thought-provoking plot. With the special effects and plot, it can actually beat many special effects movies in Hollywood.”
“I want to let the world see what we can do,” said Han Zhuoling.
“Yes,” said Old Mr. Han, immediately agreeing, “We should do this.”
“Let’s follow what you said!” said Old Mr. Han, “When you mentioned these, did the directors of the company oppose it?”
“They did oppose, but they did not have confidence,” said Han Zhuoli, “It’s mainly because they already made a mistake. Although Zhuofeng did not look for companies to invest in ‘Dimensions’, they knew what Zhuofeng was doing. However, n.o.body mentioned it because actually, they did not think that it was promising.”
“So that’s why we invested in our own names. But now that the box office sales of ‘Dimensions’ are so good, they finally realized their mistake. They can only watch in the face of such a huge profit,” said Han Zhuoli, “So when we mentioned releasing ‘Dimensions’ overseas, they also think that there’s a low possibility of earning money, and we might even make a loss.”
“However, because of what happened previously, they’re also scared that they will make a mistake again. So although they opposed it, they did not stand their ground and eventually agreed to the idea.”
Of course, in the process, Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli had to have endured a lot of pressure.
Old Mr. Han pondered and said, “If there are losses, you two will be under scrutiny.”
“So what? The company is managed by our family, even if they’re not happy, they can’t do anything.” Han Zhuoling did not mind it.
The Han Corporation had a board of directors.
However, most of the shares still belonged to the Han Family.
The Han Family had adequate authority.
“However, Zhuoli and I also promised them that if we make a loss, the two of us will pay,” said Han Zhuoling.
“That’s what I meant,” said Old Mr. Han.
“We invested in ‘Dimensions’ personally, and the movie made a profit, so we made a profit. But now that we are releasing the movie overseas in the Han Corporation’s name, if we make a loss, the board of directors will definitely not be happy.”
When it made a profit, it would be theirs, but when it made a loss, it would be the company’s loss.
Naturally, everyone wouldn’t be happy about that.
“So we’ll also bear the loss; we’ll definitely not let the two of you bear the whole cost. You guys suggested this as you wanted to make everyone what our domestic films can do overseas. In deeper words, this is all to spread our culture overseas rather than for profit.”
Everyone knew the Han Corporation’s place in the domestic entertainment industry.
And the Han Corporation had almost monopolized the domestic entertainment industry.
Most movies that they invested in had made a lot of money.
If it were someone else, they would definitely think of ways to continue earning money.
